Re: How Do I Maintain My Profile?

How do I get to where I can write my blog? Can't find it anywhere...and do you have that weird dropdown box on the top left?

Re: How Do I Maintain My Profile?

I just sent a message to you directly, but also to answer here ...

To write to your blog, select from the menu tabs at the top "Media > Create Blog Entry".

As for the weird dropdown box in the top left, can you give me a bit more information? Where exactly is it located and is there any information in it? If not what is close to it? And is it only on a specific page or is it all pages?

Thanks

 

as for the box, it looks like a few options were selected and it is open covering the left portion of the banner on the top of the page.  I'm on a work comp with a net nanny and sometime it does weird things, so it may just be on my end.  Basically, I can see the options for "my inbox" "my profile" Member points and so on.  It also covers up your pic and part of your reply on this page.

 

edit:  I also can't see the "menu tabs" and I assume this box is blocking that.  I'll check sometime later on the home comp.

Re: How Do I Maintain My Profile?

Hmmm I'm wondering, do you know which version of browser you're using? I know I have experienced some issues with older versions like Internet Explorer 5 and 6. We designed the site so it should work with Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 2, but there are occasional issues with older ones.
